Yeah the feds don't care about state legal users as they still consider it outright illegal, so you're out of luck.

The navy also came up with a working railgun. The projectiles move so fast they turn the air around them to plasma and destroy the entire weapon every time they fire or some crazy poo poo like that.

their current strategy is to use a less intensive rail to launch a (really expensive) projectile that does the intensive rail thing that destroys itself, good luck with that i guess

aNYWAY,
tHAT'S REALLY ALL THERE IS,
tO REPORT ON THE SUBJECT,
oF ME GETTING HURT,


Guns are, in fact, Still Bad, it's just a sign of the times that things are getting bad enough that they might actually become as necessary as lunatic gun nuts always claimed they'd be. Driven in no small part by those same gun nuts indulging in violent fantasies and being exploited by a proto-fascistic political party until they got their dream yam President, in fact.

A society that's regressed to the point where people really might need guns is a lovely society. There's going to be plenty more "psh, now liberals like guns!" but if smug by-your-logic-ing mattered we wouldn't be in this situation so who cares.
